Two months ago, I found a small bump inside my three-yearold son Oji s mouth. I watched it for several days and it suddenly got worse. In two days, the swelling grew to the size of half of his upper jaw! Because of this, it was hard for him to eat or talk. BUDDHIST TEMPLE By Rev. Yushi Mukojima I took him immediately to see the dentist who put him on antibiotics right away. But a week passed and the swelling was still there, so the dentist pulled Oji s tooth. Usually after tooth extraction, the wound drains and the swelling goes down. But after another week on a second antibiotic, Oji showed no improvement at all. So the dentist encouraged me to take Oji to an oral surgeon. We immediately saw the oral surgeon recommended by the dentist. She told me that she suspected a tumor because my son s case was very unusual. So she encouraged me to take Oji at once to Stanford Hospital Emergency to get a CT scan. Of course I was really shaken up by this rapid development, but we went straight to Stanford Hospital Emergency, checking in around 2:00 in the afternoon. The specialist was really busy that day and finally saw Oji four hours after our arrival. As a result of (Continued on page 4) In This Issue Rev Mukojima s Msg 1, 4-6 Dharma School 5 Hatsumairi 7 YBA 8 Exhibit on Japanese Buddhist Temples in Hawaii The Mountain View Buddhist Temple is delighted to host Approaching the Sacred: Japanese Buddhist Templates in Hawaii, a photographic display focusing on various Japanese Buddhist temples. Thanks to a generous grant from the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii (JCCH), MVBT was presented with an opportunity to present this exhibit at no charge. Drs. George and Willa Tanabe, professors emeriti of religion and art, respectively, at the University of Hawaii, visited every temple in Hawaii (90 in all) over a three year period. Japanese Buddhist Temples in Hawaii: An Illustrated Guide (UH Press, 2012) resulted from their research, which provides an overview of Buddhism in Hawaii as well as a Temple by Temple description. In conjunction with the guide, they curated a traveling photographic display Approaching the Sacred, (Continued on page 4)

After another hour wait, medical staff came into our room, administered an anesthetic to Oji and laid him on the bed. As Oji got drowsy, they made his mouth open wide. Then the specialist scraped some cells from the bump. When I saw the blood all over my little son s mouth, I felt such pity for him that tears came to my eyes. After that, I waited an hour with Oji until the anesthesia wore off. Finally the doctor allowed us to go home around 11:00 p.m. It was a really long day, but Oji did a great job. After the biopsy, the doctor had told me that it would take about three days to get the results back. During that time, my wife and I repeatedly assured one another that Oji would be absolutely fine. But neither of us was able to sleep well because of our fear and anxiety. When I was working or even just watching TV for laughs, only the worst-case scenario would come to mind and I was not able to concentrate my attention on much of anything else at all. Finally four days later, I received a phone call from the doctor. She told me that the bump in Oji s mouth was not a tumor, but an abscess. But it was still unusual that it did not go down for a long time, so he would need another round of antibiotics. When we heard that result, my wife and I were so glad and relieved from the bottom of our hearts that we could feel the tension and worry leave our bodies. Although that was really a difficult and stressful time, now when I look back to the days I was waiting for the biopsy results, I realize that I chanted the sutras in front of Obutsudan more times than my normal daily routine. I think without realizing it, I projected upon the Nembutsu and sutras my fervent thought, May Oji be all right. I always tell the Sangha over and over again, The Nembutsu is not a magic spell. Namo Amida Butsu is an expression of our gratitude. When you go to casino, don t pray for something by saying the Nembutsu! But I have to admit that probably the reason I placed my hands together and chanted the sutras more than I usually do was to pray for Oji s safety as I chanted, saying the Nembutsu without realizing it. It was like the practice of incantations. At the age of 42, our founder Shinran Shoshin encountered the tragic scene in which many people were dying in agony because of a terrible famine. At that time, he decided to perform the practice of chanting the triple Pure Land sutras (Larger sutra, Contemplation sutra and Amida sutra) one thousand times as a vow and a petition to Amida Buddha to save all those people from their suffering and pain. However, no matter how much he felt pity for and sympathized with these suffering people, (Continued on page 5) Exhibit on Japanese Temples in Hawaii Exhibit on Japanese Buddhist Temples in Hawaii (cont d) (Continued from page 1) which highlights architectural features, altar arrangements, Temple art and furnishings, and reveals the symbolic meanings embedded in these objects. This traveling exhibit will be on display at MVBT for one day only, Sunday, March 13, beginning at Noon in the Sangha Hall. The Tanabes will be on hand at the temple for a presentation. MVBT members are encouraged to augment the traveling display by featuring objects from MVBT s own history. The MVBT Dharma School is coordinating this exhibit and contacts are Debby Inenaga and Joy Morimoto. More information and details to come in the next Echo.
5 Volume 55 Number 2 Page 5 Oji Is Fine! (cont d) (Continued from page 4) it remained the fact that he could not save them from famine regardless of how many times he chanted the sutra. When he fully realized this, he quickly abandoned this practice and instead reflected deeply on his delusional mind. Shinran became aware of his calculation (personal feeling) of Self Power at the bottom of his heart that tries to remove or allay misfortunes like disease and natural disasters by the merit and virtue of sutra chanting and reciting the Nembutsu. When he earnestly started chanting the triple Pure Land sutras one thousand times, he was not the Nembutsu follower of Other Power, but was the Nembutsu follower of Self Power who depends on the incantations to get the results he wants to see. It must have been deeply meaningful when Shinran fully understood how difficult it is to get rid of the calculating mind of one s personal feelings. The Nembutsu is the fruit of Amida Buddha s Primal Vow. It is also the calling voice of Amida Buddha, who made a vow directed toward each one of us which is to lead all beings to the world of enlightenment. And at the same time, when we say Namo Amida Butsu, because it is the supreme vow of Amida Buddha that we firmly received, our utterance of the Nembutsu is an expression of our deep gratitude for this great merit and virtue. And that which shows us Amida Buddha s precious teachings in great detail are these three major Pure Land sutras. Although Oji s ordeal was difficult, I am ashamed that I used the precious sutras as a tool for beseeching, as if I were praying instead of expressing my gratitude. Because of this recent experience, I am able once again to deeply appreciate the Nembutsu teaching of Other Power. In any case, I am so grateful to all the members who recently gave advice to us with their loving kindness. Oji has recovered quite well and we are greatly relieved that he is now back to his usual self!
